Only Family......

What is it about family that brings out the silly in all of us? I love it that we can be as goofy as we want around our family members because they will love us in spite of our stupidity!!!! So in honor of this, here are a few funny things done and/or said this week with Granny and the McNutts:

#1 Granny sitting at Geno's Steaks in Philadelphia, using her dull sewing kit scissors to cut the tag out of her Tshirt. She got the tag out.....along with half of her shirt, too!

#2 "Pocket of a bottleneck".....this was spoken by none other than yours truly in reference to the horrendous traffic that can very regularly accumulate in and around New York City, most specifically, the tunnels and bridges.

#3 "Flyer-flies".....Claire's name for fireflies. The kids chased and caught many fireflies every night before bed.

#4 "Bushel of keys"....spoken by Wesley in reference to all the keys on my key chain. Wow. He's not from Texas or anything!

#5 "What time is it?".....the question Claire (she's 3 yrs. old) most frequently asked me. I still don't know why she needed to know what time it was.

#6 Granny balancing her checkbook as we walked through the turnstile in the subway.......oh granny!

#7 "Why is she holding a chicken?" Jaron's first question when we got off the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. In case you are wondering, he was talking about the torch.

These were all things that were funny, hilarious in the moment, and things we will always remember and talk about and laugh about. I mean, Mom had us in tears as she was cutting out that tag in her shirt!!!!
